\"Spring<\/div>\n

It’s That Time Again…<\/h2>\n

\nThe Time of Year for Me to Remind You to Spring Clean!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spring Clean your Rings!<\/h2>\n

\nYou see, People often put their Rings and Jewelry on (especially Engagement or Wedding Rings), and then they totally Neglect or Forget about them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nPeople Wear them for Months or even Years without and Cleaning or Inspection, and THAT’S SAD!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sad, AND also COSTLY!<\/h2>\n

\nBecause many times you’ll have a Bent or Broken Prong, or Stone, and never Realize it until you look down and see your Diamond’s GONE!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nOuch!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThat my Friends, is NOT<\/strong> the Time you want to Notice such things.<\/p>\n

\nYou need to do it NOW!<\/strong><\/p>\n

RIGHT NOW!<\/h2>\n

\nIn Fact, STOP Reading this<\/strong>, take your Rings off, get your Jewelry out, Grab a 10x Jeweler’s Loupe<\/a> and Inspect your Prongs and Stones<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

DO IT NOW!<\/h2>\n

\nI’m Waiting…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nI always Advise Checking the Stones to see if they Tilt, Rock or Spin or Turn<\/strong> in the Mounting. If so, They Need Work!<\/p>\n

\nLook at the Prongs well to see if they’re Lifted, Bent, Low, Flat, Cracked or even Broken Off<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And while you’re at it…<\/h2>\n

\nCheck the Stones to see if they’re Broken, Chipped, Damaged or Cracked<\/strong>. If you Feel like you’re Questioning them, take them to a Jewelry Store and have them Professionally Inspected.<\/p>\n

\nAnd Lastly…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clean your Goods!<\/h2>\n

\nDirt and Debris have a Nasty Way of Wearing Down your Gold, and the Durability and Integrity of your Prongs and Channel Walls.<\/p>\n

\nClean with with Hot Water, a Little Ammonia, and a Dash of Dish Soap<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nScrub them with a Soft Toothbrush<\/strong> underneath the Stones where Built up Layers of Dirt Reside. Dirt on the Bottom of your Gems makes them look Dull, Dark and Sparkle Less.<\/p>\n

Pick yourself up a Jewelry Cleaner<\/a>\"\" and Steam Cleaner<\/a> and your Jewelry will LOVE you! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nJewelers Advise that you get your items Cleaned and Inspected at least Twice a Year (Preventive Medicine<\/strong>)… and often, a Diamond Guarantee or Warranty will actually Require it!!! <\/strong><\/p>\n

\nI Generally Advise doing a thorough Cleaning MORE<\/strong> often, like Once a Month or at Least Bi-Monthly. <\/p>\n

Just in Case!<\/h2>\n

\nYour Rings and Gems take a Ton of Abuse, and it’s better to be Safe than Sorry.<\/p>\n

\nSo Spring Clean your Rings!<\/strong> They’ll Look Better, Last Longer, and if they Need Work, don’t Hesitate, get them to a Trusted Jeweler for Repairs TODAY! <\/strong><\/p>\n

\nHappy Cleaning! <\/strong>:)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
